23、   Last year on Mothers Day, someone from our community invited people to share stories about their mothers.

A former (从前的) policeman said his mother took him to the opera in St. Louis on Saturday. He listened to dialects (方言) he didn’t understand. He grew to love opera. Now every Saturday he listens to a radio station that plays opera in the afternoons, enjoying Italian voices and fondly remembering his mom.

A woman shared that she was only 17 months old when her mother died. Her father remarried. She values the things learned from her stepmother-how to keep house, cook and care for children. “But it wasn’t a mother’s love,” she said. “If you have a mother and you’ve a mother’s love, don’t take it for granted (把它视为当然).”

An entrepreneur (企业家) was 9 years old when his mom let him skip school on his birthday. The car attendant said, “Why aren’t you in school?”

“My mom let me skip and is taking me out to lunch for my birthday,” he said. The attendant said, “Your mom loves you like nobody else. Don’t you ever forget that, OK? And take care of your mom!”

Another person shared that when he immigrated to the US as a young man, his parents did not approve. He came anyway and landed in Fayetteville, Arkansas. He found a roommate, and every weekend they drove to the roommate’s home where his mother had food prepared and waited for them. They’d pick it up and have food for the week. The roommate’s mother became a stand-in mother with whom he has cherished(珍惜) a lifelong bond.

It is good to tell others what your mother, or someone who has helped fill that role, means to you. But if your mother is still living, it might also be good to tell her.

【1】How many people shared their stories on Mother’s Day last year?

A．Two

B．Three

C．Four

D．Five

【2】Why does the former policeman listen to operas on radio every Saturday?

A．Because he wants to learn the dialects that he doesn’t understand.

B．Because he grew to love opera and he is an expert on opera.

C．Because his mother believed opera could make him a man of good taste.

D．Because he likes to enjoy Italian voices and it reminds him of his mother.

A．You’re the one who loves mom the most.

B．Your mom loves you more than anyone else does.

C．Your mom can’t love you any more.

D．Your mom loves nobody but you.

【4】What does the author advise us to do?

B．We should share more stories about our moms if we can.
